Everything I named got the same response.... mouth in a sideways smirk, nose crinkled, eyes looking off to the side, barely audible groans that sounded like "ayonno". So, I had a soft pretzel, hubby had soup and sandwich and 15 year old Molly had whatever she finally made for herself. I'll cook tomorrow night and won't ask her what she wants.<BR/>Have a great week!<BR/>hahaha...your word verification says *Jackere* That really should be a word too!<BR/>♥ Lillyroy/elisabeth deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704010030427386711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365723478637027301.post-85253040054685124732009-01-17T14:52:00.000-07:002009-01-17T14:52:00.000-07:00That drives me nuts too.

Like 'my mind is full of such delicious propositions I am going to need exactly one minute to decide. Please start the timer.'

And, now, with my kid, I have found myself telling her quite often that "I don't know." is not an acceptable answer.

I love it! My hubby gets frustrated with me for the same reason. I didn't know you could look up menus online!!!! What the what??? (hehehe I love that saying!)
